FWIW. I loved the premise of this thread at the start. But I fully agree that without sharing results, there is little benefit. You keep saying that some folks “get it” without any details. I don’t see how. We all got a lot of good info at the start, and it was great to see your approach, but I don’t think there’s anything more to be gained from this without specifics.
I don’t think anyone criticized your approach to selecting a college list – and that was your “ground rule”. I don’t understand why you feel attacked… but as a result your tone has become unhelpful. And the MY THREAD narrative seems just a little over the top. This is a public forum, not your personal blog.
So, do you plan to report results at the end? If so then that’s fine, I’ll be very interested to come back then. If not, then IMO all relevant info was already reported (and, yes, very helpful), but that is the extent of it, so I’ll leave this thread.
